To operate this or any power tool safely and effi-ciently, it is essential to become as familiar with itas possible. The time you invest before you beginto use your Model G1182 will be time well spent.

DO NOT operate this machine until you arecompletely familiar with the contents of thismanual. Serious personal injury may occur ifused without proper training.

I. INTRODUCTION

G1182 6" Heavy-Duty JointerG1182 6" Heavy-Duty Jointer

A. 110V OPERATIONYour Model G1182 Jointer is supplied with a dual-voltage 110V/220V motor, pre-wired for 110Voperation. Under normal use, the motor drawsapproximately 13 amps @ 110V. We recommenda 15 amp circuit breaker or slow-blow fuse for110V. This should be satisfactory for normal use,while providing enough protection against motordamage caused by power surges. If frequent cir-cuit failures occur when using the jointer, contactour service department or your local electricalcontractor.

II. CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

The conductor with green or green and yellowstriped insulation is the electrical-grounding con-ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cordor plug is necessary, do not connect the equip-ment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or one of ourservice personnel if the grounding instructionsare not completely understood, or if in doubt as towhether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong groundingtype plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept thetool’s plug. Figure 1.

B. GROUNDINGIn the event of a malfunction or breakdown,grounding provides a path of least resistance forelectric current to reduce the risk of electricshock. This tool is equipped with an electric cordhaving an equipment-grounding conductor and agrounding plug. The plug must be plugged into amatching outlet that is properly installed andgrounded in accordance with all local codes andordinances.

In this section we cover some basic electri-cal requirements for the safe operation ofyour G1182 Jointer. These requirements arenot necessarily comprehensive. Further,you must be sure that your particular elec-trical configuration complies with local andstate codes. The best ways to ensure com-pliance are to check with your local munici-pality or licensed electrician.

The Model G1182 MUST be grounded forsafe operation. If you are unsure of the qual-ity or condition of the circuit you plan touse, have it inspected and repaired by aqualified electrician. Under no circum-stances should the grounding prong beremoved from the G1182’s plug. Failure toensure that both circuit and plug are prop-erly grounded may result in serious person-al injury.

Figure 1. 110V outlet and plug configuration.

C. EXTENSION CORDSIf used, extension cords must be rated HardService (grade S) or better. Conductor size mustbe 14 A.W.G. for cords up to 50 feet in length.Your extension cord must also contain a groundwire and plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-sion cords if they become damaged.


III. SAFETY

11. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Makesure your extension cord is in good condi-tion. When using an extension cord, besure it is rated Hard Service (grade S) orbetter. Conductor size must be 16 A.W.G.for cords up to 100 feet in length. Anundersized cord will cause a drop in linevoltage resulting in loss of power and over-heating. Your extension cord must alsocontain a ground wire and plug pin. Alwaysrepair or replace extension cords if theybecome damaged. Minimum Gauge forextension cord:

16 A.W.G. 50ft16 A.W.G. 100ft14 A.W.G. 200ft12 A.W.G. 300ft

12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wearloose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,bracelets, or other jewelry which may getcaught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear isrecommended. Wear protective hair cover-ing to contain long hair.

13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footingand balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keeptools sharp and clean for best and safestperformance. Follow instructions for lubri-cating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicingand changing accessories, such as blades,bits, cutters, and the like.

16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.Consult the owner’s manual for recom-mended accessories. The use of improperaccessories may cause risk of injury.

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in work-ing order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS ANDWRENCHES. Form habit of checking tosee that keys and adjusting wrenches areremoved from tool before turning on.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN . Clutteredareas and benches invite accidents.

4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON-MENT. Don’t use power tools in damp orwet locations, or expose them to rain.Keep work area well lighted.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORSAWAY . All children and visitors should bekept a safe distance from work area.

6. MAKE WORK SHOP CHILD PROOF withpadlocks, master switches, or by removingstarter keys.

7. DON’T FORCE TOOL . It will do the jobbetter and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool orattachment to do a job for which it was notdesigned.

9. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Alsouse face or dust mask if cutting operation isdusty. Everyday eyeglasses only haveimpact resistant lenses, they are NOT safe-ty glasses.

10. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise tohold work when practical. It’s safer thanusing your hand and frees both hands tooperate tool.

A. SAFETY FOR ALL TOOLSThe following rules for safety cover many general issues typical of the majority of home and small com-mercial shop equipment.


III. SAFETY (Continued)

17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before furtheruse of the tool, a guard or other part that isdamaged should be carefully checked todetermine that it will operate properly andperform its intended function. Check foralignment of moving parts, binding of mov-ing parts, breakage of parts, mounting, andany other conditions that may affect itsoperation. A guard or other part that is dam-aged should be properly repaired orreplaced.

B. JOINTER SAFETYThe following rules ensure safe jointer operation in most conditions. ALWAYS consider your shop’sspecific environment and consider safety first—as it applies to you and your shop.

18. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into ablade or cutter against the direction of rota-tion of the blade or cutter only.

19. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONALSTARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-tion before plugging in.

20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leavetool until it comes to a complete stop.

1. JOINTING SAFETY BEGINS with yourlumber. Inspect your stock carefully beforeyou feed it through the cutterhead. If youhave any doubts about the stability orstructural integrity of your stock, DO NOTJOINT IT!

2. MAINTAIN PROPER RELATIONSHIPS ofinfeed and outfeed table surfaces and cut-terhead knife path.

3. ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK or a floatwhen jointing. Never place your handsdirectly over the cutterhead.

4. SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE adequatelyat all times during operation, maintain con-trol over the work at all times.

5. WHEN JOINTING, do not stand directly atthe end of either table. Position yourselfjust to the side of the infeed table to avoidpossible kickbacks.

6. NEVER MAKE JOINTING CUTS deeperthan 1⁄8".

7. DO NOT JOINT material shorter than 8",narrower than 1⁄2" or less than 1⁄4" thick.

8. NEVER JOINT A BOARD that has looseknots. All defects should be cut out of theboard before it is planed or jointed.

9. JOINT WITH THE GRAIN . Jointing againstthe grain is dangerous and could producechatter or excessive chip out .

10. NEVER JOINT end grain.

11. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RABBETING ,all operations must be performed with theguard in place. After rabbeting, be sure toreplace the guard.

12. NEVER BACK THE WORK toward theinfeed table.

13. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – are hard tobreak. Develop good habits in your shopand safety will become second-nature toyou.

VI. CLEAN UP

The beds and other unpainted parts of the ModelG1182 are coated with a waxy oil that protectsthem from corrosion during shipment. Removethe protective coating with mineral spirits andpaper towels.

VII. SITE CONSIDERATIONS

1. Floor Load: Your G1182 6'' Jointer repre-sents a large weight load in a small footprint.Most commercial floors are suitable for theModel G1182. Some residential floors mayrequire additional build up to support bothmachine and operator.

2. Working Clearances: Consider existing andanticipated needs, size of material to beprocessed through each machine, andspace for auxiliary stands, work tables orother machinery when establishing a loca-tion for your jointer.

3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should bebright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should bededicated or large enough to handle amper-age requirements. Outlets should be locatednear each machine so power or extensioncords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observelocal electrical codes for proper installation ofnew lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Follow the safety rules listed below whenworking with solvents:

1. Read and follow all directions andwarnings on the solvent label.

2. Work only in a well ventilated area.

3. Do not work near any type of openflame (e.g., pilot lights, keroseneheaters, and so on).

4. DO NOT smoke while working withflammable material.

5. Paper towels from the cleaning processare extremely combustible. Dispose ofwaste towels so they do not create afire hazard.

For the sake of your own health and theenvironment, please make sure that towelsand rags used to clean this machine are dis-posed of properly.

If you are unsure about the quality or condi-tion of the circuit you plan on using for thismachine, have a qualified electricianinspect and repair the circuit. Always makesure that your jointer is properly grounded.Failure to do so could result in serious elec-trical shock hazard and/or mechanical dam-age.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleumbased solvents because of their extremelylow flash points. Do not use chlorine-basedsolvents – if you happen to splash someonto a painted surface, you’ll ruin the fin-ish.


VIII. ASSEMBLY

A. BEGINNING ASSEMBLYMost of your G1182 6'' Jointer has been assem-bled at the factory, but some parts must beassembled or installed after delivery. We haveorganized the assembly process into steps.Please follow along in the order presented here.

TOOLS REQUIRED: You will need a high qualitysquare, a long straightedge, 10mm, 12mm and14mm open end wrenches, and a 3mm Allen®

wrench.

All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge(called “flashing”) on them after they areformed. This is removed at the factory.Sometimes, though, a bit of flashing mightescape inspection. Please examine theedges of all metal parts before handlingthem.

DO NOT attempt any step of assembly,adjustments, or maintenance while yourModel G1182 is running. Ensure that theswitch is off, power is disconnected andmoving parts have stopped before makingadjustments. Failure to comply may result inserious personal injury.

B. STANDFor reference, assemble the stand so the dustchute end is on your left when facing the stand,and the power switch is on your right.

1. Begin by attaching the two ends to the frontpanel with the machine screws and washersprovided. Figure 2 .

2. Mount the two dust chute sides to the dustchute end as shown in Figure 3 . Note thatthe flanges are pointed away from the insideof the chute. Do not fully tighten the screwsyet.

Figure 2. Attachment of the two end panels.

Figure 3 . Attaching the dust chute.


3. Position the dust chute base between thedust chute sides (flanges up), carefully align-ing the screw holes in the base and thesides. Figure 4 . The flanges should be insidethe chute.

Figure 4 . Attaching the dust chute base.

4. Attach the top of the stand to the sides anddust chute. Note that the flanges for the topare inside the stand (the flanges for the dustchute opening should be outside the dustchute, however) and that the opening for thedrive belt is at the rear of the stand. Figure5.

5. Flip the stand upside down to mount themotor to the underside of the dust chute.Mount the motor on the chute using the four5⁄16" - 18 x 3⁄4" hex head bolts, flat washersand nuts provided. Be sure to position themotor pulley to the rear (open end) of thestand as shown in Figure 6 . Leave the motormount bolts finger-tight for now.

Make sure the slots in the motor supportare toward the top of the stand.

VIII. ASSEMBLY (Continued)


D. V-BELTTo install the V-Belt:

1. Loosen the motor mount bolts located insidethe dust chute and slide the motor up untilyou can attach the V-Belt to the pulleys. SeeFigure 7.

Figure 7. Motor mounts inside dust chute.

6. The power switch is already installed on theright hand panel of the stand. To completethe wiring, it is first necessary to remove theswitch assembly from the stand. Remove thetwo Phillips® head screws holding the metalmounting plate to the stand. The entireswitch can then be pulled out of the stand.

Next remove the switch box from the back ofthe switch. Locate the cord which has beenpre-wired to the motor. Take the end with theconnectors and feed it through the hole inthe switch box. Connect the green groundwire to the green ground connection at theswitch. Now slide the wire connectors ontothe tabs on the switch, matching wire colors.Reassemble the junction box to the back ofthe switch, then install the switch assemblyback into the stand.

7. Flip the stand upright and securely tighten allfasteners on the stand and dust chute.

C. JOINTER TO STANDThis step will require at least two people. Tomount the jointer to the stand:

1. Lift the main unit onto the stand, making sureto position the cutterhead pulley over the slotin the top of the stand.

2. Carefully align the mounting holes in the standwith the threaded holes in the base of the join-ter. Secure the jointer to the stand using thethree 3⁄8" - 16 x 3⁄4" hex bolts and 3⁄8" flat wash-ers provided.


This equipment must be grounded. Pleaseensure that this machine is continuouslygrounded from the motor to the machineframe and then to a known ground. Verify thatany existing electrical outlet and circuit youintend to plug into is actually grounded. If it isnot, it will be necessary to run a separate 12A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outletto a known ground. Under no circumstancesshould the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injurymay occur.



2. Allow the weight of the motor to rest againstthe V-belt and lightly tighten one motormount bolt. For the time being, this will beadequate belt tension.

3. Align the motor and cutterhead pulleys witheach other using a plumb bob or straight-edge. Move the motor until the face of themotor pulley is aligned with the cutterheadpulley and tighten the motor mount bolts.Pulley alignment can be fine tuned by loos-ening the motor pulley setscrews and mov-ing the pulley in or out as necessary. Figure8.

4. Check belt tension by pinching the belthalfway between the pulleys with moderatepressure. The amount of flex between thepinched portions of the belt should beapproximately 1". Loosen the motor mountbolts slightly and adjust the motor down toincrease belt tension. Tighten motor mountbolts and re-check tension and pulley align-ment.

DO NOT slide the fence across the outfeedtable. Scratching will result.


F. CUTTERHEAD GUARDTo install the Cutterhead Guard:

1. The cutterhead guard pivot shaft is slotted onthe end. This slot fits over the tang at the endof a spring located in the spring housing. SeeFigure 10. Look down the pivot hole to getan idea where this tang is located.

2. Rotate the spring housing counter clockwiseapproximately 1 turn. Insert the guard shaftinto the pivot hole, lining up the slot with thetang.

3. The cutterhead guard shaft should fit all theway inside the pivot hole when properlyengaged with the spring tang and shouldhold the guard against the fence.

4. The cutterhead guard should be held firmlyagainst the fence, completely cover the cut-terhead, and move back into position whenreleased. If this has not been achieved,repeat Steps 2-3 , increasing the number ofturns on the spring housing to 11⁄2.

Figure 10. Spring housing.


G. BELT GUARDTo install the Belt Guard:

Insert the 5⁄16" - 18 x 21⁄2" mounting bolt throughthe belt guard and attach to the jointer base cast-ing. Do not over tighten. Figure 11.

Figure 11. Belt guard attachment.

DO NOT attempt any step of assembly,adjustments, or maintenance while yourModel G1182 is running. Ensure that theswitch is off, power is disconnected andmoving parts have stopped before makingadjustments. Failure to comply may result inserious personal injury.



H. KNIFE SETTING GAUGETo assemble the Knife Setting Gauge:

1. Insert the steel rod through the hole in eachadjuster arm until the notches for the E-clipsextend past the adjustment arms on bothsides.

2. Attach the E-clips to the notches to lockadjustment arms onto the steel rod. Theadjustment arms are symmetrical, so theplacement is not a concern. See Figure 12.

Figure 12. Knife setting gauge.


To set the knives:

1. Remove the cutterhead guard.

2. Lower the infeed and outfeed tables on yourjointer until the cutterhead is completelyexposed.

3. Using the pulley, rotate the cutterhead until thefirst knife is top dead center.

4. Skip to Step 7 if you are only resetting theknives. Loosen the gib bolts and remove theknife from its seat. The knife has springs whichforce it up from its seat in the cutterhead, souse care when removing it.

5. After sharpening or replacing the old knife,insert the knife you wish to use into its seat inthe cutterhead, making sure that the springsare placed properly below it. See Figure 14 .

A. TABLE GIBSThe function of the gibs is to eliminate sloppytable movement. They also dictate how easy it willbe to move the tables up and down. To adjustgibs:

1. Loosen the upper and lower check nuts on theinfeed table, leaving the lock handle tight. SeeFigure 13 .

2. With one hand on the lever bar, loosen thetable lock handle and adjust the upper andlower gib setscrews until table movement issmooth and controlled.

3. Once gib has been properly adjusted, tightencheck nuts and repeat Steps 1-2 for the out-feed table.

IX. ADJUSTMENTS

DO NOT make adjustments while yourJointer is running. Ensure that the switch isoff, power is disconnected and movingparts have stopped before making adjust-ments. Serious personal injury may occur.

Figure 13. Location of check nuts.

These knives are extremely sharp. Nevergrab the cutterhead directly to rotate it.Always use the drive pulley. Always be surethe jointer is disconnected from its powersource before you make any adjustments.Serious personal injury may occur.

Always lock the table with the table lockbefore using the jointer. If this step is notobserved, the table could slide down whilethe jointer is operating. Serious personalinjury may occur.

B. KNIVES


IX. ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

C. OUTFEED TABLEFacing the fence, the outfeed table is located tothe left of the cutterhead. The outfeed table mustbe aligned to the highest point of the arc of theblades. If it is set too high, the board will hit thefront edge of the table and be impossible to feedthrough the jointer. If the table is set too low, theback end of the board will fall into the cutterheadand snipe will occur.

1. Loosen the table stop bolt jam nut under theoutfeed table. Turn the table stop bolt counter-clockwise several times so that it will not inter-fere when setting correct table height. SeeFigure 16.

8. Repeat this procedure for the remainingknives.

9. Replace the cutterhead guard, making surethe spring tensioner is properly wound.

6. Set the knife so it is protruding from the cutter-head approximately 1⁄8'' and tighten the gibbolts until the knife movement requires someeffort. Use a piece of wood or other non-scratching surface to apply pressure, NOTYOUR FINGERS!

7. Place the adjuster over the cutterhead so thecenter tabs contact the knife and apply pres-sure until the adjuster arms come in contactwith the cutterhead. See Figure 15. Tightenthe bolts symmetrically in steps. Starting withthe middle bolt, turn each bolt once with awrench and move outward toward the ends.Repeat the sequence until the bolts are tight.

Figure 15. Proper positioning of knife settingjig. Figure 16. Location of the table stop bolt and

jam nut.

Use a piece of wood, or some other non-scratching surface to press the jointerknives into the cutterhead. Do not use yourbare fingers. Serious personal injury mayoccur.

ALWAYS wear ANSI-approved safety glass-es when assembling, adjusting, maintain-ing, or operating this machine. Wearapproved hearing protection, too, whenoperating the Model G1182.


2. Rotate the cutterhead by turning the motorpulley. DO NOT grab the cutterhead itself.Bring one blade to the approximate apex of itsarc.

3. Position a steel straightedge on the outfeedtable. Extend the straightedge over the middleof the cutterhead. See Figure 17.

4. Loosen the table lock handle and raise orlower the table with the lever until the straight-edge barely touches one of the knives. Rockthe cutterhead to ensure that the blade is atthe highest point of its arc. Check the othertwo blades in the same manner. If they do notall touch the straightedge evenly, they are notat the same height. You must reset the knives.

5. Adjust the stop bolt until it touches the castbase. Tighten the table lock handle.

6. Tighten the checknut, loosen the table lockhandle, and move the table down with thelever – then up against the stop. Check theaccuracy of the stop setting with a straight-edge over the cutterhead and fine tune if nec-essary.

D. INFEED TABLETo adjust the infeed table:

1. Loosen the jam nut and unscrew the tablestop bolt out 3 or 4 turns. See Figure 18.

2. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so ithangs over the infeed table. Turn the cutter-head so that the knives are NOT touching thestraightedge.

3. Loosen the infeed table lock handle. Raise theinfeed table until it just touches the straight-edge. Tighten the table lock handle.

4. Turn the stop bolt until it makes contact withthe base casting.

5. Tighten the jam nut, loosen the table lock han-dle, and move the table up and down to checkyour settings. Align the depth of cut scale toread zero.

Figure 18. Location of the infeed table stop boltand jam nut.

Figure 17. Illustrates the use of a straightedgeto ensure proper outfeed adjustment.




E. 90˚ FENCE STOPSTo adjust the 90˚ fence stop:

1. Place a square on the outfeed table fairlyclose to the cutterhead. See Figure 19 .

3. Tighten the checknut on the stop bolt and tiltthe fence forward, then back against thestop. Figure 20.

Figure 20. Location of the fence’s positive stopbolt.

Figure 19. Use of machinist’s square to alignfence.

2. Loosen the fence lock handle and the check-nut on the positive stop bolt. Turn the boltagainst the tab until the fence contacts theedge of the square evenly.

DO NOT attempt any adjustments whileyour Model G1182 is running. Ensure thatthe switch is off, power is disconnected andmoving parts have stopped before makingadjustments. Serious personal injury mayoccur.

4. Re-check with the square. Tightening thechecknut will move the stop bolt slightly, sosome trial-and-error may be necessary toperfect your settings.


3. If there is a gap between the bevel’s bladeand the face of the fence, turn the stop boltuntil the gap is gone.

4. Tighten jam nut. Move your fence forward,then back against the stop. Re-check thestop bolt.

Figure 21. Location of Stop Bolt and Stop Tab.

F. 45˚ FENCE STOPSThe fence can be tilted to 45˚ by loosening thelock handle, lifting up the 90° positive stop tab,and moving the fence in the desired direction. Toset the 45° tab stop:

1. Loosen checknut and lower fence until itrests on the stop bolt. See Figure 21.

2. Using a bevel gauge set to 45°, place theheel of the bevel on the outfeed table, andthe blade against the fence.

X. OPERATIONS

A. TEST RUNOnce assembly is complete and adjustments aredone to your satisfaction, you are ready to test themachine.

Turn on the power supply at the main panel.Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-ger is poised on the STOP button, just in casethere’s a problem. The jointer should run smooth-ly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.Strange or unnatural noises should be investigat-ed and corrected before operating the machinefurther.

If noises occur that cannot be found by visualinspection, feel free to contact our service depart-ment for help.

B. STOCK INSPECTIONIf the stock has large or loose knots, considerfinding another workpiece. Knots in a workpiececan be dangerous to the operator, as well asdestructive to equipment.

When jointing, always cut with the grain ratherthan against it. Cutting against the grain (goingagainst the pattern of the wood’s growth rings)chips the wood instead of cutting it – making theworkpiece rough and irregular. Look at the side ofyour board. If the direction of the grain structurefacing the cutterhead runs upward towards thecutterhead as it sits on the infeed table, your cutwill be with the grain. Figure 23.

Occasionally, you will find woods that defy allrules. In those rare cases, it is best to feed theworkpiece slowly and take several shallow cuts. Afew extra passes will hurt much less than a ruinedworkpiece.

DO NOT make adjustments while the jointeris running. Ensure that the switch is off,power is disconnected and moving partshave stopped before making adjustments.Failure to comply may result in serious per-sonal injury.

DO NOT attempt any adjustments whileyour Model G1182 is running. Ensure thatthe switch is off, power is disconnected andmoving parts have stopped before makingadjustments. Serious personal injury mayoccur.


C. EDGE JOINTINGThe purpose of edge jointing is to produce a fin-ished, flat-edged surface that is suitable for join-ery or finishing. It is also a necessary step prior toripping stock to width on a table saw or radial armsaw.

1. Make sure the fence is set to 90°. Doublecheck it now with a try square or machinist’ssquare.

2. Inspect stock for soundness and grain direc-tion.

3. If the board is bowed (curved), place theconcave side down on the infeed table.

4. Holding the stock firmly against the fenceand table, feed the stock slowly and evenlyover the cutterhead. See Figure 24.

5. Inspect your results. Several passes may benecessary to remove the bow.

Figure 24. Proper operator position for edgejointing.

D. BEVELINGBeveling an edge is essentially the same opera-tion as edge jointing, except that the fence is tilt-ed to a specified angle. Use extra care to ensurethat the edge makes solid contact with the infeedand outfeed tables at all times.

1. Use a bevel gauge to determine the desiredangle. Then use the bevel to transfer thisangle to the fence.

2. Tilt the fence by loosening the lock handleand moving the fence to the desired angle.Use the fence lever as shown in Figure 25 .


4. Slowly and evenly feed stock through thecutterhead. Make sure the face of the stockis completely flat against the fence and theedge is making solid contact on the infeedand outfeed tables. See Figure 25.

5. Achieving the full bevel will probably takeseveral passes. Remember not to take morethan 1⁄16" in one pass.

Figure 25. Fence position for bevel jointing.ALWAYS wear ANSI-approved safety glass-es when assembling, adjusting, maintain-ing, or operating this machine. Wearapproved hearing protection, too, whenoperating the jointer.

X. OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


F. RABBETINGA rabbet is a groove cut along the edge of aboard. It is usually made to accept another boardto form a strong, simple joint. Note: The maxi-mum rabbet depth is 1⁄2".

1. Remove the cutterhead guard.

2. Loosen the fence and slide it to the rabbetingedge. Set the fence to the desired width ofthe rabbet and lock down. For small rabbets,remove the fence sliding locking lever and re-insert it in the rear fence hole on the fencebase.


4. Place stock on the infeed table and rabbettable with the edge to be rabbeted firmlyagainst the fence.

5. Slowly and evenly feed stock through thecutterhead. Using the 1⁄16" rule, it will take sixpasses to achieve a common 3⁄8" rabbet. SeeFigure 27.

6. Replace the guard when finished with rab-beting operations.

Figure 27. Correct operator position for rabbet-ing.

E. SURFACE PLANINGThe purpose of planing on a jointer is to producea flat – not necessarily ''finished'' – surface. Thetheory behind this is that once you have one flatsurface on a board, it can then more readily be milled to precise, final dimensions on a thicknessplaner.

1. Inspect your lumber for soundness and graindirection.

2. If the stock is cupped (warped), place theconcave side down and slowly feed itthrough the cutterhead. See Figure 26.

3. Inspect your results. Most likely, many pass-es will be necessary before your lumber hasa flat surface.

4. If the stock has large or loose knots, consid-er finding another workpiece. Knots in aworkpiece can be dangerous to the operator,as well as destructive to equipment.

X. OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

This section assumes that all necessaryoperational adjustments to the jointer havebeen made as discussed in the previoussection.


XI. MAINTENANCE

C. LUBRICATIONSince all bearings are shielded and permanentlylubricated, simply leave them alone until theyneed to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

Table ways and the fence assembly should not belubricated. If the tables appear to be stuck, disas-semble and clean any foreign materials from theways. Re-assemble and reset the gibs.

D. V-BELTInspect regularly for tension and wear; replacewhen necessary with a size A-36 belt. Check pul-leys to ensure that they are properly aligned. Seepulley/V-belt sections for proper tension and pul-ley alignment procedures.

A. GENERALRegular periodic maintenance on your ModelG1182 Jointer will ensure its optimum perfor-mance. Make a habit of inspecting your jointereach time you use it. Check for the following con-ditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1. Loose mounting bolts.

2. Worn switch.

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4. Damaged V-belt.

5. Any other condition that could hamper thesafe operation of this machine.

B. TABLESThe table and other non-painted surfaces on theModel G1182 should be protected against rustand pitting. Wiping the saw clean after every useensures that moisture from wood dust isn’tallowed to trap moisture against bare metal sur-faces.

Some woodworkers recommend using automo-tive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron sur-faces. The wax provides a layer of protection, aswell as reducing friction between lumber and thetable, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoidwaxes that contain silicone or other syntheticingredients. These materials can find their wayinto lumber that’s being worked, and can makestaining and finishing difficult. If you use pastewax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.

DO NOT make adjustments while the jointeris running. Ensure that the switch is off,power is disconnected and moving partshave stopped before making adjustments.Failure to comply may result in serious per-sonal injury.

Do not modify and/or use this HEAVY-DUTYJOINTER for any other purpose other thanthose for which it was designed.Modifications or improper use of this toolcould result in serious personal injury andproperty damage and will void the warranty.


This section covers the most common processing problems encountered in jointing and what to do aboutthem.

Problem: Snipe (Tail of the board is cut slightly deeper as it passes over the cutterhead).Cause: Outfeed table set too low.Remedy: Readjust outfeed table.

Problem: Work stops in the middle of the cut.Cause: Outfeed Table is set too high.Remedy: Reset outfeed table to its proper height.

Problem: ChippingCauses: Most commonly found around knots or in woods with wild or conflicting grain direction, chip

ping can also be caused by dull knives, forcing the board over the cutterhead too fast, or tak-ing too deep a cut in one pass. Also, if you are going to joint end-joined-stock, try to orient the lumber so that all pieces have common grain direction. Otherwise, pieces fed into the cutterhead against the grain will be prone to chip out.

Remedies: Sharpen the knives, slow down your feed rate, and stick to the 1⁄16" rule. Try 1⁄32" or less, if nec-essary.

Problem: Fuzzy grainCauses: The board either has too high a moisture content or too much surface wetness. Some species,

such as basswood, will have fuzzy grain no matter how dry it is or how well you plane it. On theother hand, the knives may be dull or ground at an incorrect bevel.

Remedies: Make sure your stock has an acceptable moisture content, and that the jointer knives are sharpand ground at the correct bevel.

Problem: Lines or ridges in boardCause: Nicked or chipped knivesRemedy: Shift or sharpen knives, then reset them.

Problem: Uneven knife marks on boardCause: This is an indication that one or more knives are out of alignment.Remedy: Reset knives.

Problem: Wavy surface on board (chatter).Causes: The stock is probably being fed too fast or knives are incorrectly set, one knife is doing all the

work.Remedies: Slow down your feed rate or check the knives to ensure that they are all within 0.001". Reset

them if they are not. Knives may also need sharpening.
